When manager Scott Servais was told one of his Seattle Mariners players was going to shave his head to help celebrate one of the most popular promotions in franchise history, he wasn’t shocked to learn it was catcher Cal Raleigh.
"Cal is all in. He’s a Mariner through and through, so it didn’t surprise me once I heard his name," Servais said. "He’s not the first one that jumped out but when I did hear it was him, ‘OK, that makes sense.’"Raleigh ended up being the only player to participate as the Mariners marked the 30th anniversary of the first "Buhner Buzz Cut" night before Thursday’s game against the Chicago White Sox.
The event was held every year between 1994-99 and again in 2001, and a total of 19,391 people got their heads shaved — including 298 women — according to the team."Being here a couple of years I heard about it and obviously they were going to bring it back, so thought it’d be a cool thing to do," Raleigh said.
